现有技术提供了一种基于ANDSF实现终端接入网络的方法,终端在接入网络后,向ANDSF设备获取接入策略,ANDSF设备根据终端当前位置信息将对应的接入策略发送给终端。其中,接入策略中包括接入网络的覆盖范围和该覆盖范围对应的接入方式,终端在移动过程中根据自身所在的位置和接入网络的覆盖范围确定满足要求的接入方式,并根据确定的接入方式接入网络并使用网络提供的服务。

其中,ANDSF设备是逻辑上独立的设备,在实际部署时,其可以独立部署,也可也和现有网络中的设备合设,例如和现有3GPP网络的策略控制与规则功能(Policy Control and Rule Function,PCRF)、Node B合设,或与WLAN中的AP合设。
参见图2,图2是本发明实施例一提供的ANDSF设备的硬件结构图。
其中,ANDSF设备采用了通用的计算机硬件,其包括处理器201、存储器202、总线203、输入设备204、输出设备205以及网络接口206。
具体的,存储器202可以包括以易失性和/或非易失性存储器形式的计算机存储媒体,如只读存储器和/或随机存取存储器。存储器202可以存储操作***、应用程序、其他程序模块、可执行代码和程序数据。

当ANDSF设备中的处理器201执行存储器202中存储的可执行代码或应用程序时,ANDSF设备可以执行以下图3-4中ANDSF设备一侧的方法步骤,例如执行步骤301、304-305等。
参见图3,图3是本发明实施例二提供的接入网络的方法的流程图。
在本发明实施例中,移动终端当前已经接入WLAN,并获取到ANDSF设备的地址。本发明实施例提供的接入网络的方法主要包括以下步骤:
步骤301、ANDSF设备向接入网络的移动终端发送通知消息,所述通知消息中携带信号状态上报条件。
具体的,ANDSF设备可以在终端接入WLAN后,主动向移动终端发送携带信号状态上报条件的通知消息。ANDSF设备也可以在接收到终端的接入策略请求消息后,向移动终端发送接入策略响应消息(采用OMA DM数据包格式)。此时,通知消息具体为接入策略响应消息,该接入策略响应消息中携带接入策略和信号状态上报条件。其中,信号状态上报条件可以为信号状态满足预定范围上报,例如在信号值小于-100dbm时上报信号状态以及在信号值小于-110dbm时上报信号状态。上述通知消息中还可以携带用户的标识和移动终端的标识。
步骤302、移动终端接收ANDSF设备发送的通知消息,所述通知消息中携带信号状态上报条件。
步骤303、移动终端检测当前接入的网络的信号状态,在检测到的信号状态满足所述上报条件时,向所述ANDSF设备上报当前接入的网络的信号状态和所述移动终端的位置信息。
在本实施例中,移动终端在接收到通知消息后,持续检测当前接入的网络的信号状态,并在检测到的信号状态满足该上报条件时,向ANDSF设备上报当前接入的网络的信号状态和移动终端的位置信息。具体的,移动终端可以通过开放式移动体系结构设备管理(Open Mobile Architecture Device Management,OMA-DM)数据包向ANDSF设备上报信号状态和位置信息。
其中,移动终端当前接入的网络的信号状态可以为具体的信号值(以dbm为量度),也可以为信号值的相对指标。例如信号等级L1、L2和L3,其中信号等级对应具体的信号值范围。终端可以在信号状态达到L1时向ANDSF上报一次,在信号状态达到L2时向ANDSF设备上报一次,在信号状态达到L3时向ANDSF设备上报一次。
终端的位置信息具体可以为终端的经纬度,该经纬度可以通过终端本身的定位***来确定,例如通过全球定位***(Global Position System,GPS),北斗定位***等。此外,终端的位置信息还可以为蜂窝小区标识(Cell ID)。
可选的,移动终端还可以检测当前接入的多个网络(例如3GPP网络、WLAN)的信号状态,同时将多个网络的信号状态和网络标识上报给ANDSF。移动终端还可以检测当前未接入的网络的信号状态,将未接入网络的信号状态和网络标识发送给ANDSF。其中,网络标识可以为WLAN的服务集标识(Service Set Identifier,SSID)、3GPP网络的标识或蜂窝小区标识。
步骤304、ANDSF设备接收所述移动终端发送的当前接入的网络的信号状态和移动终端的位置信息。
步骤305、ANDSF设备根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息生成接入策略并向所述移动终端发送生成的接入策略。
在本实施例中,ANDSF设备可以根据移动终端上报的一个网络或多个网络的信号状态、移动终端的位置信息以及接入网络的负载情况确定该移动终端的接入方式或接入方式的优
先级,然后对所述移动终端对应的用户生成接入策略并发送给该移动终端,所述接入策略中携带所述确定的接入方式或接入方式的优先级。具体的,ANDSF设备发送的通知消息的格式可以为OMA-DM数据包,ANDSF设备也可以通过OMA-DM数据包向移动终端发送生成的接入策略。
例如,ANDSF设备前后两次接收到同一移动终端在不同位置上报的信号状态L2、L3,当信号状态变化是信号增强时(如L3信号强度高于L2),则说明移动终端的运动趋势是进入WLAN,结合WLAN的网络负载情况(例如WLAN负载低),判断该移动终端当前的接入策略是否为WLAN优先,如果是则不修改策略,否则调整接入策略,使WLAN优先。若WLAN负载高,则调整接入策略,使3GPP网络优先,降低WLAN的负载。
当信号状态变化是强度减弱时(如L3信号强度弱于L2),则说明移动终端的运动趋势是离开WLAN,结合3GPP网络的负载情况(例如3GPP网络负载低),则判断该移动终端当前的接入策略是否为WLAN优先,如果是则调整策略,使3GPP优先,否则不修改策略。若3GPP网络负载高,则调整接入策略,使WLAN优先,降低3GPP网络的负载。其中,ANDSF可以根据终端上报的蜂窝小区标识向网络管理***获取3GPP网络的负载情况。ANDSF也可以根据AP的物理地址向网络管理***获取WLAN的负载情况。
此外,ANDSF设备还可以在确定移动终端未接入的网络的信号状态良好,而移动终端当前接入的网络的信号状态差或网络的负载高时,调整移动终端的接入策略,例如调整终端未接入的网络的优先级为高。
步骤306、移动终端保存接收到的接入策略。
移动终端接收ANSDF设备发送的接入策略并保存。若本地已经存在接入策略,例如移动终端本地预置默认的接入策略或ANDSF设备已经发送过一次接入策略给移动终端,则根据接收到的接入策略更新本地保存的接入策略,根据更新的接入策略接入网络。
若根据最新接收到的接入策略确定当前位置优选的接入方式与当前接入的网络不一致,则终端切换到该优选的接入网络。如果根据最新接收到的接入策略确定当前位置优选的接入方式与当前接入的网络一致,则终端保持接入当前的网络。
在本发明实施例中,移动终端在检测到的信号状态满足上报条件时,向ANDSF设备上报当前接入的网络的信号状态和所述移动终端的位置信息,ANDSF设备根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息对所述移动终端对应的用户生成新的接入策略并向所述移动终端发送。与现有技术中ANDSF设备仅仅根据固定的网络覆盖生成接入策略相比,本发明实施例中ANDSF设备结合移动终端所在位置的信号状态生成接入策略对终端进行接入,可以准确根据网络的覆盖情况为移动终端选择合适的接入网络,移动终端的接入效率较高。
参见图4,图4是本发明实施例三提供的接入网络的方法的流程图。
在本发明实施例中,移动终端当前已经接入WLAN,并获取到ANDSF设备的地址。
本发明实施例提供的接入网络的方法主要包括以下步骤:
步骤401、终端向ANDSF设备发送接入策略请求消息,用于请求接入策略。
具体的,接入策略请求消息中携带终端的位置信息、终端的标识(物理地址、IP地址)或用户的标识等。终端的位置信息可以为终端接入的WLAN的服务集标识(Service Set Identifier,SSID)、AP的媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)地址、具体的经纬度信息。若终端当前接入的是3GPP网络,则位置信息还可以为蜂窝信息Cell ID。
步骤402、ANDSF设备接收接入策略请求消息,根据其中的位置信息获取终端的接入策略。
具体的,ANDSF设备在接收到终端的接入策略请求消息之后,根据其中的位置信息获取该位置附近的接入网络的覆盖情况,并生成接入策略。接入策略中包括接入网络的覆盖范围以及接入方式,该接入范围可以为以AP所在位置为圆心(或锚定点),给定半径的一个圆。接入方式可以为WLAN覆盖范围内通过WLAN接入,WLAN覆盖范围外,则通过3GPP接入。接入方式还可以为在WLAN覆盖范围内WLAN的接入优先级高于3GPP的接入优先级。
步骤403、ANDSF设备向接入网络的移动终端发送接入策略响应消息,所述接入策略响应消息中携带信号状态上报条件和终端的接入策略。
在本实施例中,通知消息具体为接入策略响应消息,该接入策略响应消息中携带步骤402中生成的终端的接入策略和信号状态上报条件。信号状态上报条件具体参见上述实施例二的步骤301中的描述。
其中,接入策略响应消息可以采用OMA DM数据包格式。
步骤404、移动终端接收ANDSF设备发送的接入策略响应消息,所述接入策略响应消息中携带信号状态上报条件和终端的接入策略。
具体的,移动终端在接收到接入策略响应消息后,保存其中的接入策略。若根据最新接收到的接入策略确定当前位置优选的接入方式与当前接入的网络不一致,则终端切换到该优选的接入网络。如果根据最新接收到的接入策略确定当前位置优选的接入方式与当前接入的网络一致,则终端保持接入当前的网络。
步骤405、移动终端检测当前接入的网络的信号状态,在检测到的信号状态满足所述上报条件时,向所述ANDSF设备上报当前接入的网络的信号状态和所述移动终端的位置信息。
步骤406、ANDSF设备接收所述移动终端发送的当前接入的网络的信号状态和移动终端的位置信息。
其中,本实施例中步骤405-406的执行过程可以参见上述实施例中的步骤303-304的执行过程。
步骤407、ANDSF设备根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息重新确定接入网的覆盖
范围。
具体的,ANDSF设备可以根据多个移动终端多次上报的位置信息和信号状态来进行数据分析,确定接入网络的覆盖范围,ANDSF设备可以确定终端当前接入的网络的覆盖范围和终端当前未接入的网络的覆盖范围。其中,ANDSF可以在接收到预设数量的移动终端上报的位置信息和信号状态后,启动数据分析的过程。
其中,ANDSF可以从多个移动终端上报的信号状态数据中删除无效的数据,例如在收到一个移动终端上报的位置信息和信号状态后,将该信号状态与该移动终端所在位置预设半径范围内收集到的信号状态的平均值进行比较,差值在一定范围内则认为该信号状态有效,否则认为该信号状态无效,删除该无效的数据。
进一步的,ANDSF设备执行数据分析的过程可以包括:选取AP周围八个方位中达到设定信号等级(例如L2)的位置,并分别计算出这些位置到AP的距离,取平均值做为半径,如果半径发生变化,则重新确定接入网的覆盖范围。例如,重新确定的接入网的覆盖范围可以为:
信号等级 | 覆盖半径 |
强(H) | R1 |
中(M) | R2 |
低(L) | R3 |
在本实施例中,ANDSF设备在重新确定接入网络的覆盖范围后,可以执行步骤408,也可以执行步骤409。
步骤408、ANDSF设备根据重新确定接入网的覆盖范围生成新的接入策略并向移动终端发送新的接入策略。
在本实施例中,ANDSF设备根据重新确定的接入网的覆盖范围生成新的接入策略。其中,新的接入策略中携带上述重新确定的半径。同样的,ANDSF设备可以通过OMA DM数据包向移动终端发送新的接入策略。
ANDSF设备向所述AP范围内的所有的移动终端发送该新的接入策略,进而该AP范围内所有的移动终端均可以根据上述新的接入策略来接入网络。ANDSF也可以只向上报了位置信息和信号状态的移动终端对应的用户发送该新的接入策略。
步骤409、ANDSF设备获取上述重新确定的接入网络的覆盖范围内所有移动终端对应的用户的QoS信息或用户订购的业务的QoS信息。
由于移动终端上报的信息中包括位置信息,因而ANDSF设备可以根据移动终端的位置信息来获取上述重新确定的接入网络的覆盖范围内所有移动终端对应的用户的标识,例如用户的手机号,然后根据用户的标识向归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)或签约规格库(Subscription Profile Repository,SPR)获取用户的服务质量(Quality
of Service,QoS)信息或用户订购的业务的QoS信息。其中,QoS信息具体可以为服务等级、丢包率、时延等参数。QoS较高的业务例如***、股票交易或高清视频等。
步骤410、ANDSF设备对所述QoS信息高于预设值的用户生成接入策略,所述接入策略中携带所述接入网络的覆盖范围。
具体的,ANDSF设备根据用户的QoS信息或用户订购的业务的QoS信息对用户生成新的接入策略,不同级别QoS信息对应的用户分别对应不同的接入策略,例如QoS级别高的用户对应上述信号等级强的区域的接入策略(覆盖半径R1),QoS级别低的用户对应上述信号等级低的区域的接入策略(覆盖半径R3),QoS级别位于高低之间的用户对应上述信号等级中的区域的接入策略(覆盖半径R2)。
进一步的,若ANDSF设备获取的是用户的QoS信息,则对QoS高于预设值的用户生成新的接入策略,例如生成上述信号等级强的区域的接入策略;若ANDSF设备获取的是用户订购的业务的QoS信息,则对QoS高于预设值的业务所对应的用户生成新的接入策略,例如生成上述信号等级强的区域的接入策略。其中,步骤410中的预设值可以根据QoS信息的具体内容灵活确定,例如QoS信息为服务等级,则预设值可以为预设的服务等级。
步骤411、ANDSF设备向用户对应的移动终端发送生成的接入策略。
具体的,ANDSF将步骤410中生成的接入策略向用户对应的移动终端发送,进而移动终端根据接收到的接入策略更新本地保存的接入策略,即执行步骤412。
需要说明的是,上述ANDSF设备可以集成执行上述数据分析功能的模块,还可以由ANDSF设备通过外部接口将移动终端发送的位置信息和信号状态发送给外部的数据分析平台,由数据分析平台进行上述数据分析功能。
参见图5,图5是本发明实施例四提供的ANDSF设备的功能模块图。
如图所示,本发明实施例提供的ANDSF设备主要包括:
消息发送单元510,用于向接入网络的移动终端发送通知消息,所述通知消息中携带信号状态上报条件,其中,信号状态上报条件包括信号状态门限值。消息发送单元510具体发送通知消息的步骤详情参见上述实施例中步骤301或403的描述。
消息接收单元520,用于接收所述移动终端发送的当前接入网络的信号状态和所述移动终端的位置信息。其中,终端的位置信息可以为终端的经纬度。
策略生成单元530,用于根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息生成接入策略;策略生成单元530具体生成接入策略的步骤详情参见上述实施例中步骤305或407-410的描述。
所述消息发送单元510还用于向所述移动终端发送所述策略生成单元530生成的接入策略。
在本发明实施例提供的ANDSF设备可以应用在前述对应的实施例二和三中。其中,消
息发送单元510向接入网络的移动终端发送通知消息,所述通知消息中携带信号状态上报条件,进而移动终端在检测到的信号状态满足上报条件时,向ANDSF设备上报当前接入的网络的信号状态和所述移动终端的位置信息。ANDSF设备中的策略生成单元530根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息对所述移动终端对应的用户生成新的接入策略并向所述移动终端发送。与现有技术中ANDSF设备仅仅根据固定的网络覆盖生成接入策略相比,本发明实施例中ANDSF设备结合移动终端所在位置的信号状态生成接入策略对终端进行接入,可以准确根据网络的覆盖情况为移动终端选择合适的接入网络,移动终端的接入效率较高。
进一步的,ANDSF设备中的所述策略生成单元530根据信号状态和移动终端的位置信息生成接入策略包括:
根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息确定所述移动终端的接入方式或接入方式的优先级,然后对所述移动终端对应的用户生成接入策略,所述接入策略中携带所述确定的接入方式或接入方式的优先级。上述生成接入策略的方法可以针对单独的用户,即对每个用户独立调整接入策略,实现单用户粒度的接入策略调整。
可选的,ANDSF设备中的策略生成单元530根据信号状态和移动终端的位置信息生成接入策略包括:
根据所述信号状态和移动终端的位置信息确定所述接入网络的覆盖范围;对所述移动终端对应的用户生成接入策略,所述接入策略中携带所述接入网络的覆盖范围。上述生成的接入策略可以应用于接入网络覆盖范围内所有的用户,覆盖范围更广。相对于现有技术中固定的网络覆盖范围,本发明实施例可以准确获取网络的实际覆盖范围,从而对用户提供高效的接入策略。
可选的,ANDSF设备中的策略生成单元530根据信号状态和移动终端的位置信息生成接入策略包括:

需要说明的是,上述消息发送单元510、消息接收单元520、策略生成单元530执行各自对应的动作可以通过实施例一提供的ANDSF设备中的处理器201执行存储器202中存储的可执行代码来实现,具体执行过程参见上述实施例一的相关描述。
